If your check engine light came on due to an O2 sensor issue and you’ve already fixed or replaced the sensor, here’s how to reset it:
Option 1: Use an OBD2 scanner
-
Plug the scanner into the OBD2 port under the dash
-
Turn the key to “ON” (engine off)
-
Clear the codes using the scanner — that should shut off the light
Option 2: Battery reset (temporary fix)
-
Disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 10–15 minutes
-
Reconnect it and start the car — the light might go away, but if the problem’s still there, it’ll come back
Fortunately, this manual goes into more detail if you want to properly diagnose the O2 sensor circuit, check voltages, or make sure the new sensor is behaving like it should. So if you're chasing something deeper, the manual's got your back.
